Late stage application - sap recruiting

[user116]

Hello experts,

This error message appears when trying to move candidate from a status to another even if late stage application is enabled. Any help please?

It looks like some mandatory fields have not been filled in the application. Can you try moving the candidate using the drag-and-drop option? In that case, the system will clearly display the mandatory fields that are missing.

Thanks,
Sanjeet

thank you for your response but in the late stage application, candidate should be moved without applying and without filling mandatory fields as it specified in this note https://userapps.support.sap.com/sap/support/knowledge/en/2472497

That only holds true if you use the drag and drop option. However, if the fields in the application are both editable and mandatory, and you try to move the candidate by changing the status from the dropdown, the system will validate the mandatory fields while saving the application. This is because the fields are editable and required. When you use the drag and drop option, the system does not check mandatory fields that are editable if the candidate has not applied on that job.

does that mean we cannot initiate onboarding if mandatory fields are not filled? even if late application stage is enabled
